Hi all,
As you can see, I've adopted a minimalist image titling convention. It
simplifies things.
Aside from that, having packed up and shipped off my K-x to have the
viewfinder glass (hopefully) replaced (hopefully) under warranty, I
broke out the K100D Super that Mr. Larry Colen so graciously loaned to
me while I was out visiting in his eminently beautiful state.
I threw the old Tokina SZ-X 28-200 f/3.5-5.3 on there and fired off a
few shots to see what it can do. I've shot maybe a total of 5 shots on
that lens before, just to see if there was anything wrong with it. I
have to say, I don't know why I haven't used it more. I'm extremely
surprised at how sharp the thing is. Considering I got it in a bunch of
about 5 lenses for which I paid a total of $100, I'm extremely pleased
with it.

Yes, the background is a bit desaturated, and I know some (most?) aren't
fond of that sort of gimmickry. But, I'm a contrarian.
In any event, comments and critiques are welcome -- even if it's just to
bitch about the desaturation. I was just so pleasantly surprised with
the sharpness that I had to share. Also, I'm pleasantly surprised with
the noise at ISO 800 on the K100D Super. I was expecting much more than
is there. Thanks, Larry!
